The actual, original sim has been lost in the mists of time, but this is a stab at recreating something close. The one piece of data I have at hand is a standard displacement of 1,597 t. Given that this is not hugely different from the preceding D-83 class, I started from there and then tweaked specs (freeboard and speed) until the hull strength was acceptable.

This is a "special", since the Iberians have not laid down a destroyer for a few years now.

The main battery is located in A, B(s) and s), with the two 57mm mountings staggered amidships in about the Q location.

A new Squid-like ahead-throwing ASW weapon is being trialed. I've allocated 30 t for it, pending further information, but there is enough miscellaneous weight to support a larger mount weight. The reasons for Iberia adopting such are:

1) No shortage of submarine action in the China War, so there is cause for concern.
2) Its installation on the quarterdeck doesn't take away from the type's main gun battery. This is an issue for Iberian destroyermen who want a strong broadside available for mass combat with Mexican hordes.
3) From the out-of-character perspective, I've already got Bharat dealing in ASW rockets, so Iberia can do mortars.

One unit will be laid down, with (notionally) five others following in 1946. Subsequently, Iberia would dedicate resources for consistent construction of six destroyers per year.
